Why Choose the Partex COL70-8/RA Right-Angle Copper Tube Terminal?
The Partex COL70-8/RA is a right-angle copper tube ring terminal designed for terminating 70 mm² electrical conductors onto an M8 threaded stud or bolted electrical connection. Supplied in a convenient pack of 50 terminals, this angled cable lug provides a practical solution for creating secure, mechanically fastened electrical connections in industrial power distribution equipment, switchgear assemblies and electrical installations.
The terminal combines a copper tubular crimp barrel with a right-angle ring mounting section, allowing the conductor to approach the electrical connection point at an angle. This configuration is particularly useful in electrical enclosures, distribution panels and industrial machinery where installation space is restricted or a conventional straight ring terminal would require additional cable bending.
With its 70 mm² conductor compatibility, M8 stud connection and right-angle design, the Partex COL70-8/RA is suitable for electrical contractors, industrial panel builders and maintenance engineers requiring practical cable termination solutions. The pack of 50 supports electrical equipment assembly, installation and maintenance operations.
Key Advantages
- Right-angle terminal configuration supports convenient cable routing in restricted installation spaces.
- 70 mm² conductor compatibility for correctly sized electrical cables.
- M8 ring terminal eye enables secure attachment to compatible threaded studs and bolted connections.

Reliable Right-Angle Crimp Connections for Industrial Power Distribution
Right-angle copper tube terminals provide a practical method of connecting electrical conductors to equipment terminals, busbar connection points and threaded studs while accommodating cable routing requirements. The Partex COL70-8/RA combines a tubular crimp barrel with an angled ring mounting section, allowing a correctly prepared 70 mm² conductor to be terminated and mechanically fastened to a compatible M8 electrical connection. The closed-ring mounting eye provides positive mechanical retention around the stud while the fastening remains secured.
The right-angle configuration is particularly useful where enclosure depth, adjacent electrical components or cable entry direction make straight terminal installation less convenient. For dependable performance, the conductor should be prepared and crimped using tooling and dies suitable for the terminal design and conductor size. The completed connection must be fastened according to the equipment manufacturer's instructions, with the intended electrical load, conductor support, terminal compatibility and installation clearances considered before use.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical control panels and power distribution assemblies.
- Electrical distribution boards and switchgear installations.
- Electrical enclosures with restricted cable routing space.
- Power cable connections on industrial electrical equipment.
- Industrial machinery and automation installations.
- Motor control panels and electrical power connections.
- Busbar connections with compatible M8 fastening points.
- Electrical maintenance and cable replacement work.
- Equipment manufacturing and electrical panel building.
- M8 stud connections requiring a right-angle cable termination.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Partex COL70-8/RA used for?
The Partex COL70-8/RA is a right-angle copper tube ring terminal used to terminate 70 mm² electrical conductors onto compatible M8 stud or bolted connections, particularly where angled cable routing is required.
What cable size is suitable for the COL70-8/RA?
The terminal is designed for a nominal conductor cross-section of 70 mm².
What stud size does this right-angle terminal fit?
The Partex COL70-8/RA is designed for an M8 threaded stud or compatible bolted electrical connection.
What is the advantage of a right-angle copper tube terminal?
A right-angle copper tube terminal allows the conductor to approach the mounting point at an angle, helping accommodate cable routing and installation clearance requirements in electrical panels, switchgear and equipment enclosures.
What material is the Partex COL70-8/RA made from?
The terminal is manufactured from copper, providing an electrically conductive connection between the terminated conductor and the electrical equipment.
How many terminals are supplied in one pack?
Each pack contains 50 Partex COL70-8/RA right-angle copper tube terminals.
How is the Partex COL70-8/RA installed?
The correctly sized conductor is inserted into the tubular barrel and crimped using suitable tooling. The angled ring eye is then positioned over a compatible M8 stud or bolt and secured according to the equipment manufacturer's installation instructions.
Can the COL70-8/RA be used for power distribution connections?
Yes, the COL70-8/RA can be used for suitable 70 mm² conductor connections in electrical distribution equipment where an M8 fastening is provided, provided the terminal, conductor and completed connection meet the installation's electrical and mechanical requirements.
What is the difference between the Partex COL50-8/RA and COL70-8/RA?
Both terminals feature a right-angle configuration and are designed for M8 stud connections. The COL50-8/RA accommodates 50 mm² conductors, while the COL70-8/RA accommodates 70 mm² conductors. The appropriate terminal must be selected according to the conductor cross-section and equipment connection requirements.
What should be considered when selecting a crimping tool for the COL70-8/RA?
The crimping tool and die must be suitable for the 70 mm² copper tube terminal and the conductor being terminated. Correct crimping equipment and procedures should be selected according to the terminal manufacturer's recommendations.
